" Autumn leaf " banner .
Length 72 " - 6 feet .

This is my first banner i created yesterday .
There are so many versions about - and i did not
want to do a paper one . I thought this version
would last and can be used year upon year .
Example of it hung on my fireplace .





2 of each leaf colour - which is a soft velvet
material - sewn onto vintage aubergine
seam binding .













Each leaf has a brown felt backing .








beaded fruits either side - 2 " long
an apple and a pear - which can be
removed and replaced with something else










In the center is an aged tag - 4.5" x 2.5 "
with a vintage owl playing card sewn on -
this is removable also .

First of all, I am in love with your mantle, oooooo would love to have one like that.
Your banner is beautiful, I especially love the stitching on the leaves :) Where on earth did you find a playing card with an owl?
